I anticipate her losing Brady, but I'd like her to keep the kid if possible.

I think that what will happen is Bristen breaks up temporarily once the picture is revealed, but then the adoption goes through and the little boy comes into their lives. And they slowly find their way back to each other as they co-parent their little boy. I anticipate the boy bringing his parents back together like Sean-Douglas did with Bo and Hope. I also anticipate Kristen doing everything in her power to poison the little tyke against his grandparents (Jarlena) while pimping Stefano as the "greatest grandparent in the world". I hope Marlena, especially, pushes through and builds a bond with Bristen Junior.

All I know is I can't wait to see Brady FINALLY have a son of his own. It should be adorable. Plus, Martsolf and Davidson are both parents to boys around the same age in real life, so it will be fun to see how that translates on-screen.

Kristen will just say she was paying off the mugger to keep him from coming back.
